Blog: Advice

I believe Baruch College should be more active on Youtube. Currently the Baruch Youtube page is very inactive. I believe there's a lot that the school offers that can be showcased via videos. For example, Baruch can have a video explaining all of the different minors that the school offers. In addition this can be done for Majors and why Baruch is so special. Most of the videos that are up on the official Baruch Youtube Page are very outdated. Some of them are 6-8 years old. In addition, Youtube is a great platform to attract young prospects. As more and more people use new media, the more people will seek for answers on it and videos are a great way to take advantage of this. Likewise videos on Youtube are also a great way for Baruch to display the culture it promotes.

As a daily viewer of Twitch, I would like to touch upon who the big twitch streamers are, how many people watch as of 2017. In addition, I would like to talk about eSports and how the community has been growing. Likewise, I would like to talk about the sponsors and the big games that are being streamed. All in all, I would like to make our Twtich wiki similar to that of our Youtube contributions.

I believe the next new media will be a US government regulated digital currency. This does not currently exist. It will be something similar to Bitcoin. Bitcoin surpassing $10,000 shows that digital currency is in demand. Japan as a nation is already very accepting of digital currency. Japan is home to bitFlyer which is the world's largest market exchange for Bitcoin. Digital currency lowers transaction costs and makes payments at any time very appealing. Paper based currency as well as physical coins are being used less and less every year. According to creditcard.com,  " In a 2016 survey, payment processor TSYS asked over 1,000 consumers which payment form they prefer. Forty percent chose credit cards, while 35 percent selected debit cards, and only 11 percent specified a preference for using cash."

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

One of the most popular virtual world games to date is called The SIMS. I loved playing this game because it allowed me to be creative. Virtual worlds are popular because it allows creators to become whoever they want. You get to experience a different lifestyle that can be therapeutic. In addition, virtual worlds are popular because there are no real life consequences. You get to choose whatever you feel like doing. One interesting thing that I learned about virtual worlds is from the CNN article called Going to the virtual office in Second Life . According to this source, business are using Second Life to have virtual meetings. This is advantageous for companies because it allows for conferences remotely. This can cut down on time consumption. Likewise, the US government also finds virtual worlds to be advantageous because it allows for them to conduct training and develop prototypes. Some of the disadvantages of virtual worlds consist of lag time, and getting the laws of physi...
